Check Out Willem Dafoe’s Deleted Justice League Scenes In New Snyder Cut Images

16 years after he left his mark on the world of Marvel Comics by playing the Green Goblin in Spider-Man, Willem Dafoe made his DC movie debut in Aquaman, where he appeared as Nuidis Vulko, mentor to Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry. However, that wasn’t the first time that Dafoe played Vulko, as originally the plan was to introduce the character in Justice League and use him to flesh out Arthur’s past and status in Atlantis.

Alas, like so many other things from that movie, Willem Dafoe’s Justice League appearance was scrapped. Now, over two years after its release, director Zack Snyder has posted some images of these Vulko scenes. Let’s start with one that places the man front and center.

Along with having longer hair and wearing a different outfit than the one he wore in Aquaman, what stands out about Vulko in Justice League is that he looks more unkempt. Whether this is because he just fought against Steppenwolf as the Apokoliptan general stole Atlantis’ Mother Box, or he always looked that way, is unclear.

Next, we have Vulko next to Amber Heard’s Mera and some Atlantean soldiers. I’m guessing they’re looking at a recently-entered Arthur Curry, but it’s hard to say.

Zack Snyder also posted a fourth image showing Aquaman and Vulko talking within the same kind of car bubble that the former conversed with Mera in during the theatrical Justice League cut. Snyder elaborated on the decision to have the underwater dwellers talk within these bubbles on his Vero page, saying:

Ultimately, like Barry Allen’s scene with Iris West, Vulko’s Justice League scenes were cut due to time constraints, leaving Mera as the main representative of Aquaman’s ties to Atlantis. While it doesn’t seem like he would have had a ton of screen time, it nonetheless would have been interesting to meet Vulko in Justice League, and then see him become an even bigger player in Aquaman.

That’s not the way the cards played out, but luckily for Willem Dafoe, he had plenty to do in Aquaman. We saw in flashbacks how Vulko trained the young Arthur Curry in combat and taught him about Atlantean culture, and in the present day, while publicly having to support King Orm, he set Arthur on the path to find Atlan’s trident, which would make Arthur Atlantis’ new ruler.

Willem Dafoe will likely reprise Vulko when Aquaman 2 swims into theaters on December 16, 2022. If you’re curious about what other DC movies are in the works, look through our handy guide.

Karate Kid Actor Rob Garrison Has Died At 59

Imahe
8 hours ago Of the many classic ‘80s movies that have transcended their time, 1984’s The Karate Kid certainly stands out. It’s iconic, immensely quotable and lives on over 30 years later after its release with YouTube’s highly-successful Cobra Kai series. It’s a sad day for Karate Kid fans because Robert Garrison, the actor from the Cobra Kai karate crew known as Tommy has passed away at 59. Robert Garrison died Friday morning in a hospital in West Virginia after suffering kidney and liver problems there for over a month. His death was a result of his organs shutting down, Garrison’s sister-in-law Linda told TMZ. Funeral arrangements are currently in the works by his family. Garrison began his Hollywood career as a child actor in the late ‘70s, appearing in films such as Lost and Found and Prom Night, starring scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, before landing his most famous role of Tommy in The Karate Kid at 24. His Cobra Kai character utters the famous line “Get him...

Doctor Sleep: How Different Was The Movie From Stephen King's Book?

Imahe
6 hours ago You might not realize this on the surface, but the new Ewan McGregor film Doctor Sleep is a sequel to Stephen King’s classic novel, The Shining . In addition, Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan has made sure that his film connects to – and builds off of – Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film of the same name. When it comes to film adaptations and the works of Stephen King, though, Hollywood has been hit and miss. Sometimes, a director and screenwriter stay incredibly faithful to King’s vision, leading to satisfying horror adaptations such as Misery , Carrie , Gerald’s Game and the recent, two-part It . Other times, the source material of a Stephen King novel or series is completely ignored or reworked to the point that you can’t even recognize the story any more, and we get a movie like The Dark Tower . Yikes. Doctor Sleep falls much closer in spirit to those adaptations that faithfully interpret King’s words. It retains the plot and tone of King’s book, bu...
